Under this administration it actually makes sense to directly donate (and make your corpo trash match). Since the government can’t be trusted to use the tax revenue for any good at all.

Unlike trustworthy corporations

I suppose if you work for one of the places supplying ICE, prisons, or the military you should feel bad and stop. Or do the incompetent dance to gum shit up.

But none of the work I do helps any of that.

If they say they match donations and aren’t, check with your charity and say something.

But why involve them at all? Why assume they are even acting in good faith?

Because in this thread it’s assumed you already work for a company that matches your donation to charities. So if you have a charity you feel is importance to support, your contribution will be twice as big, it makes sense to support your charity more.

Yes it gives the company for work for a tax deduction, but currently federal taxe revenue is being abused to hurt people and withheld from programs that help them.

Unlike how corporations behave
